December 19, 1980 – June 27, 2013
With profound sadness Sean was tragically taken from us in a workplace accident, leaving behind the loves of his life, Sasha and his four-month-old son, Shea; family, Dan, Mona, Drew, nephew Jordan, Britt, grandfather Gordon Huntingford and his diggy “dawgs” Tonka and Mackie; and a legacy of friendships from the many chapters of his life. Sean grew up in Victoria playing lacrosse and hockey. At 19 he left Victoria to start his career in the oil patch. His career took him all over the prairies and as far away as Australia. When he met Sasha he immediately knew she was the “one.” They started their life together in Peace River, Alberta where he was the happiest he had ever been and had everything he ever wanted.
A Celebration of Sean’s Life will be held on Saturday, July 6 at 2:00 p.m. at the Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort. Casual attire, as Sean would want, is preferred. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Sean’s name to the SPCA. Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Marcelle Britt, Drew and the whole Devlin family,
I am heartbroken at the loss of your beautiful son and brother. Sean was a rock for me at the most emotionally crippling time of my life. He shouldered his own grief for Steve as well as carrying me through mine. When I think of Deebo I think of his gentle and loving nature, his cheeky smile and his laugh. I absolutely adored him. No words can truly convey my sadness for you all at this time. He will be deeply loved and missed always.

Jocelyn There are times when there are too few words left to heal us, when what we wish for is to be carried, when all we have left is the hope that tomorrow will be a more gentle place to land than today.
Sending so much love to the entire Devlin family.
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” – Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Sue Cool Graham is living in Calgary now and phoned me this morning to tell me of Sean’s passing. Words just don’t seem to be enough at a time like this. I have been thinking about Sean and your family all day. I have very fond memories of our time together at the hockey rink. May your memories, family and friends help you through this difficult time.

Lylah Mourad Dan and family,
Although I had never met Sean, I have had the privilege to work with his father for a few years. I have come to know Dan as a smart, funny, caring and thoughtful person. All of which are the qualities a father passes on to his kids. I am sure that during Sean’s life Dan taught him these qualities which made him the man and father that everyone loved and admired.
I am sorry to Dan and his family for their loss and it is clear that Sean was loved and will be missed dearly.
-
The McBeath's We were so sorry to hear about your loss. Sean was a joy to be around, he embraced life and radiated happiness. We loved his “Devlin grin!” and our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends.
-
Dana Behie While I had not seen Sean in many years, he was one of my best buds through junior high and high school. And I was lucky to have him as my grad date.
Sean had a huge heart, warm smile and a wicked sense of humor. I can hear his voice and laugh like it was yesterday.
I was so so saddened to hear of his passing and I can not imagine all that the family must be going through right now.
My thoughts are with you all during this unbelievably heartbreaking time. May you find comfort in all the amazing memories and from one another.

The Bateman Family Mona, Dan, Drew & Jordan, and Sean’s family Sasha & Shea, we are so saddened by the news of Sean’s passing. Your family and ours have always had a strong bond through Lacrosse with our boys Sean and Ryder, Drew and Travis. Dan, I will never forget how hurt you were when we lost Travis. To lose a child is the worst tragedy for a family, but please remember this…Victoria loves and embraces their athletes, we share in your loss, and we are all beside you.

Jeff Bjorgan I have a lot of memories of Sean when he first started working on the rigs. He was a fast learner, and every thing you gave him to do he did with out complaining. He was all ways very safety consious and he was concerned about his crew, he told me when we first set him up drilling that he was going to go slow and if i didnt like that then i should not set him up as a driller. One of the highest complements you can get in the drilling business is when your putting a crew together the guys will allways ask whos the driller, when we told them it was Sean they would all go because they trusted him. He was that kind of guy, it didnt take long to see that he cared about the people he worked with. Sean made a lot of friends in the drilling business and we will all miss him very much. My deepest condolences go out to all of Sean’s family
-
Stasha Huntingford I am glad that Sean had a chance to find love and create a beautiful family. I hope everyone wears hoodies in his honor at the gathering! I will miss his wonderful humor and the pride he took in his family. I hope you can feel the love coming from all the people who’s lives were touched by Sean.

Harvey Thorau My heartfelt condolences go to you and your family, Dan.

Brian Knowles I am deeply saddened to hear of Sean’s passing. The last time I saw him was at the hockey rink when we were 18 yrs old, which is fitting as all my memories of Sean are growing up playing hockey together.

Dawn Ploegmakers It had been many years since I have seen Sean. I will always remember him as being such a nice, funny guy. It’s always sad when someone “good” leaves this world.

My condolences to the entire family and all of his friends who will miss him with great sadness. My heart breaks for all of your losses.
